Step 1 — Earmuffs of Recycled Material

• Cut sports-themed ball in half with the sharp knife. Cut small slits on top of each half big enough for the headband to slide through and fit snugly.

• Secure headband by wrapping a rubber band on each side of the headband within each half of the ball to ensure that the headband does not slide out.

• Add the stuffing to the inside of each half of the ball.

Step 2

Wrap the fabric around the opening of each half of the ball. Secure it to the ball's inside edge with fabric glue and let it dry.

Step 3

Your warm, sporty earmuffs are ready to wear!

Optional: Headphone earmuffs

• Sew a small pocket into the fabric before securing it on the half of the ball.

• Place the headphone speakers into the pocket and sew around them to hold them in position.

• Glue the fabric as in Step 4 with the headphone cords downward.
